ECHO PLANET

Category: Edition 2013

Synopsis
The planet is in jeopardy. Global warming has caused the widespread formation of heat devils that are reproducing and spreading all over the planet. World leaders join the President of Capital State to launch "Cool Bomb" missiles, unaware that their technology will destroy the ozone layer. Meanwhile, the President's son, Sam, is lost in the jungle on a scouting vacation. He is rescued by Nora, 14 year-old, and her younger brother Kim, 3 year-old, who has a special gift that allows him to communicate with nature. And the planet has told him that the only way to stop the heat devils is to starve them of energy. The three friends desperately try to find a way to save the planet and mankind.

Sinossi
La Terra è in pericolo. Il surriscaldamento globale ha generato delle terribili creature, chiamate “bestie del fuoco”, che si stanno riproducendo e diffondendo su tutto il pianeta. I leader mondiali hanno appoggiato la proposta, presentata dal Presidente della megalopoli Capital State, di lanciare dei missili denominati “bombe fredde”, ignari del fatto che la loro tecnologia distrugge lo strato di ozono. Nel frattempo, il giovane figlio del Presidente, Sam, si è perso in una foresta durante una escursione con gli scout, e viene salvato da Nora, 14 anni, e dal suo fratellino Kim, 3 anni, che ha il dono speciale di parlare con la natura, e ha così scoperto che il solo modo per fermare le “bestie del fuoco” è privarle di energia. I tre amici cercheranno disperatamente un modo per salvare il pianeta e l’umanità.
